He explains the plan is being paid for by private donors, with the aim of spreading adoption and educating users. As of right now, the project is fully funded for $1,000 per household, he confirmed, adding that the town has received further donations because the story got so popular in a way that I never anticipated.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">A day in my life through the eyes of <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JaelinCollier?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@JaelinCollier<\/a> <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/N1mAerlvT7\">pic.twitter.com\/N1mAerlvT7<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Mayor Jayson Stewart (@coolvalleymayor) <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/coolvalleymayor\/status\/1440760483468902403?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 22, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Though Stewart believes it would be very wise for a town to hold parts of its treasury in cryptocurrencies,\u201d he explains that there are legal obstacles to doing that, many of which are laid out in the state constitution in regards to towns and cities investing in assets. He makes it clear that he is first and foremost interested in seeing regular people, rather than government entities, benefit from Bitcoin. The more people that hold a stake in the Bitcoin network, the more powerful it can become.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"pullquote align-center\"><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">What really excites me, and what I\u2019m working on, is getting regular people to hold Bitcoin, and for them to really benefit from the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>reciation of holding an asset like that.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Stewart has encountered a mixed set of reactions from the towns residents, from excitement and curiosity to confusion, with the latter being common among older members of the community.

For this, there are plans to organize workshops or similar learning opportunities. We\u2019re going to get people storing their own Bitcoin as quickly as possible, the mayor declares.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Missouri Mayor,<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/coolvalleymayor?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@coolvalleymayor<\/a>, Into bitcoin since 2015.

Patience is a virtue, after all. In order to encourage this patience, there are plans to offer residents an option of a larger payout if they agree to hold their coins for a set amount of time, with a smaller amount given to those who want to sell.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"pullquote align-center\"><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We really just want them to be able to understand the asset and become self sovereign with their storage understanding how to hold their own keys<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In addition to learning about Bitcoin, Stewarts initiative is likely to inspire other indirect benefits to the community. For one, it is likely to introduce many residents to investing in <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">general<\/a>, which may bring many benefits in the future. Computer literacy is another area that is likely to see improvement on account of the Bitcoin incentive, and the new users are likely to begin learning about other cryptocurrencies and blockchain applications as well.

Though he did not have much in-depth understanding of the cryptocurrency, I thought it was cool internet money, he recalls.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"jeg_postblock_carousel jeg_postblock_carousel_3 jeg_postblock jeg_col_8 jnews_module__0_6154716341bc8    \">\n<div class=\"jeg_carousel_post\" data-nav='' data-autoplay='true' data-delay='4500' data-items=\"3\" data-margin='20'>\n<div class=\"jeg_post_wrapper\">\n<article class=\"jeg_post format-standard\">\n<div class=\"jeg_thumb\">\n<div class=\"thumbnail-container animate-lazy  size-1000 \"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"75\" height=\"75\" src=\"https:\/\/cointelegraph.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/themes\/jnews\/assets\/img\/jeg-empty.png\" class=\"attachment-jnews-75x75 size-jnews-75x75 lazyload wp-post-image\" alt=\"Bitcoin ledger as a secret weapon in war against ransomware\" loading=\"lazy\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cointelegraph.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/magazine-Crypto-isnt-a-good-tool-for-ransomware-75x75.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cointelegraph.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/magazine-Crypto-isnt-a-good-tool-for-ransomware-75x75.jpg 75w, https:\/\/cointelegraph.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/magazine-Crypto-isnt-a-good-tool-for-ransomware-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/cointelegraph.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/magazine-Crypto-isnt-a-good-tool-for-ransomware-350x350.jpg 350w\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-expand=\"700\" \/><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"overlay_content\">\n<div class=\"jeg_postblock_content\">\n<h3 class=\"jeg_post_title\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bitcoin_ledger_as_a_secret_weapon_in_war_against_ransomware\"><\/span>Bitcoin ledger as a secret weapon in war against ransomware<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"jeg_post_meta\">\n<div class=\"jeg_meta_date\"><i class=\"fa fa-clock-o\"><\/i> September 16, 2021<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jeg_post_wrapper\">\n<article class=\"jeg_post format-standard\">\n<div class=\"jeg_thumb\">\n<div class=\"thumbnail-container animate-lazy  size-1000 \"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"75\" height=\"75\" src=\"https:\/\/cointelegraph.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/themes\/jnews\/assets\/img\/jeg-empty.png\" class=\"attachment-jnews-75x75 size-jnews-75x75 lazyload wp-post-image\" alt=\"How the crypto workforce changed in the pandemic\" loading=\"lazy\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cointelegraph.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/magazine-How-the-crypto-workforce-changed-in-the-pandemic-75x75.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cointelegraph.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/magazine-How-the-crypto-workforce-changed-in-the-pandemic-75x75.jpg 75w, https:\/\/cointelegraph.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/magazine-How-the-crypto-workforce-changed-in-the-pandemic-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/cointelegraph.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/magazine-How-the-crypto-workforce-changed-in-the-pandemic-350x350.jpg 350w\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-expand=\"700\" \/><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"overlay_content\">\n<div class=\"jeg_postblock_content\">\n<h3 class=\"jeg_post_title\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_the_crypto_workforce_changed_in_the_pandemic\"><\/span>How the crypto workforce changed in the pandemic<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"jeg_post_meta\">\n<div class=\"jeg_meta_date\"><i class=\"fa fa-clock-o\"><\/i> September 10, 2021<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jeg_post_wrapper\">\n<article class=\"jeg_post format-standard\">\n<div class=\"jeg_thumb\">\n<div class=\"thumbnail-container animate-lazy  size-1000 \"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"75\" height=\"75\" src=\"https:\/\/cointelegraph.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/themes\/jnews\/assets\/img\/jeg-empty.png\" class=\"attachment-jnews-75x75 size-jnews-75x75 lazyload wp-post-image\" alt=\"End of the bull run part 2\" loading=\"lazy\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cointelegraph.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/magazine-How-to-prepare-for-the-end-of-the-bull-run-P2-75x75.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cointelegraph.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/magazine-How-to-prepare-for-the-end-of-the-bull-run-P2-75x75.jpg 75w, https:\/\/cointelegraph.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/magazine-How-to-prepare-for-the-end-of-the-bull-run-P2-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/cointelegraph.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/magazine-How-to-prepare-for-the-end-of-the-bull-run-P2-350x350.jpg 350w\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-expand=\"700\" \/><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"overlay_content\">\n<div class=\"jeg_postblock_content\">\n<h3 class=\"jeg_post_title\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sell_or_hodl_How_to_prepare_for_the_end_of_the_bull_run_Part_2\"><\/span>Sell or hodl?

That\u2019s why later in 2015, he left his job at Magic to pursue a lifelong passion for environmental restoration and wildlife rehabilitation through his new company, PL28, which he operated from Cool Valley. PL28s mission was to clean up the oceans, a calling that was the focus of my life for the next several years until Stewart ran for mayor in 2019.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"pullquote align-center\"><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Right up until I decided to run, I was just pulling plastic from oceans, rivers and different waterways  to try to make the wildlife habitat for marine life a little bit better.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Through PL28, Stewart has helped with ocean cleanup in places including the Philippines, Haiti, the Bahamas, Los Angeles and Singapore. He explains that the cleanup process is different according to the type of ecosystem at hand. Out at sea, youre usually going to get mostly abandoned fishing nets which continuously trap and kill wildlife, whereas in a river environment like that of St. Louis, you collect a lot of plastic bottles like milk jugs, he says.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_9187\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9187\" style=\"width: 1400px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-9187 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cointelegraph.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/1545063447044.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1400\" height=\"350\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-9187\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A map showing water clean-up efforts he organized around the world. source: LinkedIn<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Though he loves to spend time with marine wildlife, he regrets that the work of ocean cleanup was a lot more logistics such as coordinating volunteers, as opposed to direct work in the field on his part. All told, Stewart worked with people in 47 different countries to pick plastic from the ocean, with that plastic usually processed into usable plastic and made into premium goods made of the reclaimed material.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Today, Stewart has moved on from active ocean cleanup, but his adventurous spirit of cleaning up the messes and mistakes of the past continues to drive him.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Small_town_mayor\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Small town mayor<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">After high school, Stewart studied psychology at the University of Miami from 2008 to 2012. During his studies in 2011, he founded a record production company Pink Fader with his freshman-year roommate. The duo saw some apparent success because an act under their label ended up getting Grammy-nominated, which is cool, and we had a couple of songs go into the top 50 on the charts, Stewart recalls with a hint of pride.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>(function() {window.mc4wp = window.mc4wp || {listeners: [],forms: {on: function(evt, cb) {window.mc4wp.listeners.push({event   : evt,callback: cb});}}}})();<!-- Mailchimp for WordPress v4.8.6 - https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/mailchimp-for-wp\/ --><\/p>\n<div class=\"mc4wp-form-fields\">\n<div class=\"jeg_mc4wp_heading\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_best_of_blockchain_every_Tuesday\"><\/span>The best of blockchain, every Tuesday<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>  Subscribe for thoughtful explorations and leisurely reads from Magazine.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>By subscribing you agree to our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy<\/div>\n<p><label>Leave this field empty if you&#8217;re human: <\/label><\/p>\n<div class=\"mc4wp-response\"><\/div>\n<p><!-- \/ Mailchimp for WordPress Plugin --><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For Stewart, who moved around a lot first with his family and later due to his entrepreneurship activities, Cool Valley has been the most consistent place through various parts of his life. Young and armed with fresh ideas, he decided to run for mayor in hopes of improving the services and revitalizing a suffering business district.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"pullquote align-center\"><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I was going to create more of a haven where humans and wildlife could live and interact together, safely, for both parties.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Being mayor is a great honor, because this little town that I grew up in wants me to be their representative and to be their leader. He describes the job as having a particularly broad scope of responsibility far beyond his previous work, feeling a strong sense of responsibility for the well-being of the townspeople. He even has the ability to grant pardons for certain offenses, which he announced for every person convicted of nonviolent offenses involving cannabis and\/or psilocybin mushrooms last year in a move

While the town already has a Bitcoin ATM, there are many more opportunities to consider. We\u2019ve had some people reach out about opening a mining facility, Stewart beams, adding that I\u2019m trying to get a Bitcoin-friendly bank over here.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As luck would have it, Stewart has just joined the Advisory Board for the Midwest BankCenter, which is a locally owned bank with nearly $2 billion in assets. They\u2019ve been meeting for 100 years, but I just had my first board meeting with them like three days ago, he laughs. Asked if they knew him as the Bitcoin guy, Stewart proudly stated that they do now!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">From his perspective, Stewart senses a cautious sort of optimism in the local banking sector. While it\u2019s clear that they want to avoid risks, they also enjoy the potential opportunity for big upsides in their investments.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Considering the number of donors, it looks like there will be money left over after the distributions to residents. With these funds, one idea Stewart is exploring is solar lighting and other energy efficiency initiatives in Cool Valley. There\u2019s a lot of fear, uncertainty and doubt when it comes to the environmental effects of Bitcoin, he admits, adding that he wants to set a positive example of the good that Bitcoin can bring.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">With the University of Missouri-St. Louis campus bordering Cool Valley to the South, the town might be a great place to host a Bitcoin conference, or even a technology hub of sorts one day. Mayor Stewart agrees, saying I think that could be a pretty nice outcome  that\u2019d be super cool.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"jeg_postblock_carousel jeg_postblock_carousel_3 jeg_postblock jeg_col_8 jnews_module__2_615471634d889    \">\n<div class=\"jeg_carousel_post\" data-nav='' data-autoplay='true' data-delay='4500' data-items=\"3\" data-margin='20'>\n<div class=\"jeg_post_wrapper\">\n<article class=\"jeg_post format-standard\">\n<div class=\"jeg_thumb\">\n<div class=\"thumbnail-container animate-lazy  size-1000 \"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"75\" height=\"75\" src=\"https:\/\/cointelegraph.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/themes\/jnews\/assets\/img\/jeg-empty.png\" class=\"attachment-jnews-75x75 size-jnews-75x75 lazyload wp-post-image\" alt=\"Bitcoin ledger as a secret weapon in war against ransomware\" loading=\"lazy\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cointelegraph.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/magazine-Crypto-isnt-a-good-tool-for-ransomware-75x75.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cointelegraph.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/magazine-Crypto-isnt-a-good-tool-for-ransomware-75x75.jpg 75w, https:\/\/cointelegraph.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/magazine-Crypto-isnt-a-good-tool-for-ransomware-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/cointelegraph.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/magazine-Crypto-isnt-a-good-tool-for-ransomware-350x350.jpg 350w\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-expand=\"700\" \/><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"overlay_content\">\n<div class=\"jeg_postblock_content\">\n<h3 class=\"jeg_post_title\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bitcoin_ledger_as_a_secret_weapon_in_war_against_ransomware-3\"><\/span>Bitcoin ledger as a secret weapon in war against ransomware<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"jeg_post_meta\">\n<div class=\"jeg_meta_date\"><i class=\"fa fa-clock-o\"><\/i> September 16, 2021<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jeg_post_wrapper\">\n<article class=\"jeg_post format-standard\">\n<div class=\"jeg_thumb\">\n<div class=\"thumbnail-container animate-lazy  size-1000 \"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"75\" height=\"75\" src=\"https:\/\/cointelegraph.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/themes\/jnews\/assets\/img\/jeg-empty.png\" class=\"attachment-jnews-75x75 size-jnews-75x75 lazyload wp-post-image\" alt=\"How the crypto workforce changed in the pandemic\" loading=\"lazy\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cointelegraph.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/magazine-How-the-crypto-workforce-changed-in-the-pandemic-75x75.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cointelegraph.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/magazine-How-the-crypto-workforce-changed-in-the-pandemic-75x75.jpg 75w, https:\/\/cointelegraph.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/magazine-How-the-crypto-workforce-changed-in-the-pandemic-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/cointelegraph.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/magazine-How-the-crypto-workforce-changed-in-the-pandemic-350x350.jpg 350w\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-expand=\"700\" \/><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"overlay_content\">\n<div class=\"jeg_postblock_content\">\n<h3 class=\"jeg_post_title\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_the_crypto_workforce_changed_in_the_pandemic-3\"><\/span>How the crypto workforce changed in the pandemic<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"jeg_post_meta\">\n<div class=\"jeg_meta_date\"><i class=\"fa fa-clock-o\"><\/i> September 10, 2021<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jeg_post_wrapper\">\n<article class=\"jeg_post format-standard\">\n<div class=\"jeg_thumb\">\n<div class=\"thumbnail-container animate-lazy  size-1000 \"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"75\" height=\"75\" src=\"https:\/\/cointelegraph.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/themes\/jnews\/assets\/img\/jeg-empty.png\" class=\"attachment-jnews-75x75 size-jnews-75x75 lazyload wp-post-image\" alt=\"End of the bull run part 2\" loading=\"lazy\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cointelegraph.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/magazine-How-to-prepare-for-the-end-of-the-bull-run-P2-75x75.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cointelegraph.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/magazine-How-to-prepare-for-the-end-of-the-bull-run-P2-75x75.jpg 75w, https:\/\/cointelegraph.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/magazine-How-to-prepare-for-the-end-of-the-bull-run-P2-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/cointelegraph.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/magazine-How-to-prepare-for-the-end-of-the-bull-run-P2-350x350.jpg 350w\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-expand=\"700\" \/><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"overlay_content\">\n<div class=\"jeg_postblock_content\">\n<h3 class=\"jeg_post_title\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sell_or_hodl_How_to_prepare_for_the_end_of_the_bull_run_Part_2-3\"><\/span>Sell or hodl?
